The Indian Premier League (IPL) has become much richer as its media rights auction ended at a whopping INR 48,390.5 crore (US$ 6.2 billion approx.) for the next five years, the BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced on Tuesday (June 14).

Disney Star has re??tained the TV rights in the subcontinent for INR 23,575 crore (??US$ 3 billion approx.), while Viacom 18 has successfully secured the digital rights in the same region and media rights (both TV and digital) across three global regions �Australia + New Zealand, the UK and South Africa �for INR 23,758 crore (US$ 3 billion approx).

Further, the media rights for two other global regions – the Middle East (INR 205 crore/US$ 26.27 million approx.) and the USA (INR 258 crore/US$ 33.06 million approx.) have gone to Times Internet. Notably, the total sum of INR 48390 crores (digital+TV) is for 410 IPL games scheduled across five years, which will help BCCI earn near about Rs 118 crore per match, making the league among the wealthiest in the world of sports.

“Since its inception, the IPL has been synonymous with growt??h & today is a red-letter day for India Cricket, with Brand IPL touching a new high with e-auction resulting in INR 48,390 cr value. IPL is now the 2nd most valued sporting league in the world in terms of per match value!. I am thrilled to announce that STAR INDIA wins India TV rights with their bid of Rs 23,575 crores. The bid is a direct testimony to the BCCI’s organizational capabilities despite two pandemic years,�/em> tweeted Shah.

“Viacom18 bags digital rights with its winning bid of Rs 23,758 cr. India has seen a digital revolution & the sector has endless potential. The digital landscape has changed the way cricket is watched. It has been a big factor in the growth of the game & the Digital India vision. I congratulate Viacome18 for winning Aus, SA, UK, Times have got MENA & US, who win the Rest of the World Rights. The ??IPL is as popular outside India as it is here, and the viewers will be able to enjoy top-class cricket,�/em> added Shah.

The rights were sold via an e-auction, which began on Sunday, June 12, in four categories â€?A (TV rights in the Indian subcontinent), B (digital rights in the subcontinent), C (digital rights in India to a special package of high-profile games – including the playoffs and the final – ranging between 18 and 22 per season) and D (global media rights across five separate regions).

The Chairman of Star and Disney India, Uday Shankar, has remained optimistic about the conduct of next IPL edition while treating it as a c???reative challenge.

With the possibility of cricket being played in front of empty sta??diums, Star c??hief is looking at splicing clips of enthusiastic fans, enjoying the match in their living rooms, keeping it real.

The idea is unlike the leagues around the ?world, where they are using CGI fans and cardboard cut-outs in the stands, replacing public in the stands, to bo?ost the morale of their players.

Reportedly, a??ll Shankar needs is a smartp?hone. “Why will I need camera? Everyone has a phone and camera. I just need to source them. We’ll have to start thinking differently, it’s a creative challenge,�Uday told Indian Express.

Also, the Star and Disney India lynchpin are us?ing the next IPL as an opportunity to provide an enhanced atmosphere through graphics, audio and sounds for the? masses.

The 2020 edition of IPL will also allow ardent cricket ?fans to be featured on television, while on their couc??h.

“Whenever you’re watching a tense moment at home, do you not have a very intense expr??ession on your face? So, all w??e need to do is capture it. So, you can be at home, but you can also be on television,�said Shankar.

Further, Shankar added that this might not have been possib??le ??a couple of decades back without internet and digital media, extensively used by commoners.

In the end, Shankar backed his vision by ci?ting out the example of Hotstar, where he was initially discouraged about the idea.?? But now Hotstar is one of the leading video streaming applications, tending to millions of viewers around the globe.

“There were a million people who told me: ‘What are you doing? The experience of live sports on a small mobile phone, this doesn’t work. This tiny thre??e-inc?h mobile phone, you will never be able to feel it, cricket is played with a small ball.�I got all kinds of theories. And the rest, as they say, is history. More than 100 million people come to watch one game on Hotstar now,�concluded Shankar.
